Protect AWS Infrastructure from Scanning

Make Your AWS Resources Invisible to Attackers

The Problem

Every AWS resource with a public endpoint is being scanned right now. Shodan, Censys, and automated scanners continuously discover and index publicly accessible ALBs, API Gateways, EC2 instances, and EKS clusters. Once discovered, attackers probe for vulnerabilities, test credentials, and plan attacks. Security groups and NACLs filter traffic, but your resources are still visible. An attacker can see your ALB exists, identify it's running a specific software version, and target known vulnerabilities — all without triggering a single alarm.

The Current Approach

AWS-native security relies on defense-in-depth: 1. **Security Groups**: Filter inbound traffic by IP and port. Resources are still discoverable. 2. **WAF**: Blocks malicious requests to visible endpoints. Requires rules maintenance. 3. **VPC Private Subnets + VPN/Direct Connect**: Keeps resources off the public internet but requires VPN infrastructure. 4. **AWS PrivateLink**: Service-to-service connectivity without public IPs. Limited to specific AWS services.

The LayerV Solution

LayerV makes your AWS infrastructure invisible to the internet. Protected resources have zero network presence — Shodan returns nothing, port scans return nothing, DNS queries return nothing. LayerV works with any AWS resource that has a network endpoint: ALB/NLB, API Gateway, EC2 instances, EKS API servers, RDS databases, internal tools running on ECS. In proxy mode (Growth tier), deployment is a DNS change — point your domain at LayerV's proxy, and the origin becomes invisible. You can also integrate via the JavaScript SDK for deeper control. Authorized users access resources through QURLs after authenticating via Okta. Each session is scoped to one resource, time-limited, and fully audited for compliance.
